Hopefully you'll be able to stay in contact due to the Dane connection and gradually

bring him along with the training issues and in-house issues.  Yes I*'d be ticked too,

Would you be uncomfortable offering help in teaching him about Danes since you have them and much experience to help him with? Seems he would be thankful for help and guidance. IMO.

First response is anger, but then he said he didn't know how to train them, so that is your cue to offer help. This is a great opportunity for you to become closer and very helpful to your client. Keep us posted. He will be most appreciative and it sounds like a win-win situation.

What I meant by biting my tongue was my instinct was to say

"YOU IDIOT IF YOU DON"T KNOW WHAT TO DO WHY GET 2!!!" I didn't though.

But I did inform him that it does get extremely hot down here and they really need to be inside dogs he needs to work on potty training, or crate training so he can bring them in. I also informed him that they are VERY smart and how its never too late about how Tank is a year and a half and in one week he peed in the house twice and has not done it since, and also learned the hand signals for sit and down.

He then informed me how he has them on a tie because its new property, no fence not even a house yet, and that they are out there because they have had some issues at the property. But he is putting a mobile home out there but he still didn't think he could train them for the house. He as of yet has no plans to convert them to house dogs.  I then told him how he can at least put a dog house out there for them. He then told me they have a container out there that some one broke into and stole a bunch of mechanical equipment and he said there is electrical run to the container for light so I sugested putting some beds in the container and a fan or something. He said he got them because he had one as a child back in russia he has been here 15 years and looked all of 30 so I'm guessing he moved here sometime in high school. He lives WAY out in the country they are 1.5 hours from the nearest town with a full grocery. And 2 hours from the nearest town with a petsmart(I asked for training classes) I told him to check with his local feed store there should be someone locally to help him train the dogs. I gave him advice and talked calmly to him I really wanted to pull over the car and throw him out right on the freeway.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I told him about the room but he lives out in the boonies by the TX mexico border so no where near for me to be able to check on these sweet babies.

 

I thought that the danes were suppose to train us!  Boy have I been played?
